Follow the Moon's Cycle

Interconnection

Virgo and Pisces are the physicians of the Zodiac. You’re not surprised this chart for the full Moon has strong connection to the news which unites the world….contagion! An epidemic says we are linked, in sickness and in health. But how will be react to a crisis and the interconnection of our species?

Neptune who moves in confusion, fog, disease, dreams and spiritual revelation is right on the Pisces Sun. Doctor Virgo Moon across the chart is trying to keep things sanitary and under control. How effective will she be. She does get a lot of help from the orderly and effective Capricorn crowd. Jupiter, Mars and Pallas Athene are lined up as public health workers. Pluto says the old structure has to be cleared away.

This is a moment of deep signifcance seen in the symbolism of the astrological chart reflected on the earth’s surface. The opposition of Sun and Moon at each full Moon is the challenge to dance into harmony. The expression of how the astrological pattern will play out is where we all come into this.

The Sabian Symbol for the Pisces Sun contains this promise : ‘A TABLE SET FOR AN EVENING MEAL. An indication that in the end and at the appointed time the individual’s needs will be met among those to whom he is linked by a spiritual (or biological) web of energies. The significant element in this scene is not only the meal, but the fact that it is an “evening” meal. The Soul returns to its spiritual home at the close of the day-of-manifestation. There it finds that which renews and amply sustains; the happiness of the “beyond of existence” is experienced — if all has gone well. NOURISHMENT.’

Mercury

Mercury is the physician, the magician, the messenger and the thief. He is found in one form or another in every gang of deities. He is Hermes, and Thoth and Lugh, all associated with swiftness, deftness and communication. Anyone who has tried to meditate, knows that Mercury is always present, and always transforming.

When Mercury is in an Air sign, Gemini, Libra, Aquarius, he is quick in thought and word, always one step ahead of the rest of the class. When he is in Water, Cancer, Scorpio or Pisces, he has a good memory. You might think water would wash away memory, but instead stores it, just as pollution never leaves a stream. Mercury in Fire; Aries, Leo and Sagittarius is intuitive and forceful. He may jump from subject to subject with a connection, which not everyone follows. Mercury in Earth; Taurus, Virgo, Capricorn can be weighed down in facts, and what is absolutely true. Speech may be slow and very thorough. Mercury in Earth walks rather than flies.
